Olympus, the Japan-based manufacturer of medical scopes linked to the spread of deadly pathogens at U.S. hospitals, received a subpoena about the devices from the Department of Justice in March, according to disclosures made by the company in a regulatory filing earlier this month.
The subpoena issued to a subsidiary, Olympus Medical Systems, “seeks information relating to duodenoscopes that Olympus manufactures and sells,” the company disclosed to shareholders in a filing on May 8. The subpoena from the Justice Department has not been previously reported. Olympus spokesman Mark Miller said in an email that the company couldn’t comment on active investigations. The DOJ did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
